Abstract: | This paper focuses on the utilization of wireless networking in the robotics domain. Many researchers have already equipped
their robots with wireless communication capabilities, stimulated by the observation that multi-robot systems tend to have
several advantages over their single-robot counterparts. Typically, this integration of wireless communication is tackled
in a quite pragmatic manner, only a few authors presented novel Robotic Ad Hoc Network (RANET) protocols that were designed
specifically with robotic use cases in mind. This is in sharp contrast with the domain of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET).
This observation is the starting point of this paper. If the results of previous efforts focusing on VANET protocols could
be reused in the RANET domain, this could lead to rapid progress in the field of networked robots. To investigate this possibility,
this paper provides a thorough overview of the related work in the domain of robotic and vehicular ad hoc networks. Based
on this information, an exhaustive list of requirements is defined for both types. It is concluded that the most significant
difference lies in the fact that VANET protocols are oriented towards low throughput messaging, while RANET protocols have
to support high throughput media streaming as well. Although not always with equal importance, all other defined requirements
are valid for both protocols. This leads to the conclusion that cross-fertilization between them is an appealing approach
for future RANET research. To support such developments, this paper concludes with the definition of an appropriate working
plan. |
